Hoodie Pullover

Pattern: I followed the design of the "not your standard-issue sweatshirt" from Yarn Girls' Guide to Simple Knits, but knit it seamlessly in the round, which included following Elizabeth Zimmermann's instructions for "Set-in" Sleeve Seamless Sweater with V-neck (Spun Out #21) though I choose to go back and forth once I got to the V-neck rather than keep it in the round and steek later
Yarn: Cascade 220
Needles: 8 (the gauge worked out so I could follow the large pattern sizes but was the same dimensions for the small size, which was perfect for me)
Thoughts: I am so pleased with how the hoodie came out. I made the I-cord too long, but haven't gotten around to doing surgery on it yet.


Here are some design elements of which I am particularly proud:

Weaving the sides of the hood together so that it would also be seamless. The seed stitch border was a bitch, but I'm glad I realized right away that I would need to make both ends match so when I wove them, the seed stitch would look correct.
The seamless set-in sleeves.

The short rows across the back of the neck to insure that the sweater would lie properly.
